ELIQUIS 2.5MG TAB(10s)
ELIQUIS 2.5MG Tablet contains Apixaban, an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) not caused by a heart valve problem. It is also prescribed for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), particularly after hip or knee replacement surgery. Apixaban works by selectively inhibiting Factor Xa, an important clotting protein, helping to prevent dangerous clot formation while allowing normal blood circulation. Regular use under medical supervision can significantly reduce the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular complications.
